Colin Cowherd Ready to Die on Hill That Josh Allen is Most Talented QB of All Time

Josh Allen played two football games over an eight-day stretch that effectively stifled any reason to have an NFL MVP discussion. On the heels of accounting for six touchdowns against the Los Angeles Rams, the Buffalo Bills quarterback excelled once again on the big stage on Sunday, accounting for five touchdowns in a potential Super Bowl preview against the Detroit Lions and legitimately doing things from the position that we've never seen before. In a market that rewards hyperbole it's not hard to find pundits just saying stuff to get a reaction. But that's not what Colin Cowherd was doing on his Monday show when he proclaimed that Allen is the most talented quarterback of all time.

That's almost pointing out an obvious. Yes, Allen has yet to make a Super Bowl let alone win one, but he more than anyone else passes the eye test with overwhelming ease. It's getting to the point where that hardly seems possible and if he keeps it up then he won't have to worry about the narrative being a thing ever again. So it's unclear how much pushback will mobilize to fight against Cowherd's take—but whatever from it takes, the Face of FS1 sounds content to never give up the fight.
